TSO was in Buffalo N.Y on 11-25,It was one of the best concerts I've been to.And I've been to alot .Besides Pink Floyds light show ,the best ever TSO blew Buffalo away.I have never seen so much energy in one place.To me it was out of this world.I'll well see them again and again.

Thanks for the review; you've just helped me decide to go see the show here (in Vancouver) tomorrow night.
Looking forward to it!!!!

I saw them in Chicago last night. It was far and away the best concert I have ever attended-- and I have been to many shows by some of the the best performers in the business. The show lasted over 3 hours and was ation-packed and extremely energetic. Well worth the money!

Last year I saw TSO for the first time. I've been waiting all year to see them again. On 12/27 they are coming back to Houston. Love the show, the very best concert I have ever been to.

We just saw TSO on 12/16. This was the 4th time we saw them in concert and it only gets better every year. The first time my wife and I attended,the 2nd and 3rd time we treated our 2 adult sons and my sons wife. This year we took the kids and also took my wifes parents. 3 generations and we all loved it. A wonderful Christmas tradition.

Cindy, Yorktown, VA | 9:37 p.m. Dec. 22, 2007

I saw TSO today in Richmond. It was the best concert I've ever been to and I've been to a lot of shows. Great music and a great message for the holidays. I can't wait to see them again!

My husband and I saw TSO for the first time tonight in Columbia, SC. He had heard of them somewhat while I have known of them and have some CDs. He didn't know what to expect and I did not enlighten him. We were both blown away by the light show, the music, the energy, and the storyline. What a wonderful way to bring in the holiday! My hubby was so transfixed and carried away that I fully expect him to suggest that we do this annually....which is fine by me!

Pat | 1:54 p.m. Dec. 27, 2007

This was a Christmas gift from my son and what a special gift!! I thoroughly enjoyed the concert and would love to go again. We went to the Ford Center in Oklahoma City to what looked like a sell-out crowd. Pat

Pops, | 5:36 p.m. Dec. 30, 2007

I took my 8 and 10 year old grand girls.
The 8 year old told me "Pops, thats not so loud".
I went to my first "rock" concert in 1957. Among many, Chuck Barry did his set with only a small box
speaker. Things have sure changed for the best.
The TSO sound will get in your blood. Keep it there.

Kathy | 1:13 p.m. Jan. 4, 2008

We took our 3 children and our 4 grandchildren to the 11-28 Boise concert and they all loved it. The 15 yr. old and the 5 yr old both were enthralled. I know this will be one Christmas gift they will remember their whole lives.It's not just a concert, it's a memory.

Lyletoad Blue Grass, Iowa | 3:48 p.m. Jan. 5, 2008

I saw them in Moline Ill last night (1-4-08) and they knocked my socks off. I've been a local entertainer for 40 years and have never seen anything so well put together and with so much talent. Kudos to the whole bunch.

2008 n'waiting | 11:24 p.m. Jan. 16, 2008

I have not seen the orchestra live yet, but hope they make it to the San Francisco Bay Area again in 2008. I have 8 people lined up for the 08 concert already and 2 cd's to get me thru the year. Any track, any time of the day, or year, will rock your world..

A TSO Addict! | 11:59 a.m. Aug. 6, 2008

HECK YES THE TRANS-SIBERIAN ORCHESTRA IS THE COOLEST FLIPPIN BAND ON THE FACE OF THIS EARTH! AND JENNIFER CELLA HAS THE MOST AMAZING VOICE! IF YOU HAVN'T SEEN A TSO CONCERT YOU HAVE NEVER LIVED!

Oh,and the Dark Knight is the coolest show ever. Sorry, just had to put that in there.

Brad | 12:08 p.m. Sept. 26, 2008

Patsy | 1:28 p.m. Nov. 24, 2008

Must say this is the best of the best ever. I'm 68 first time and really didn't know what to expect - my son brought me and he couldn't believe how good the show was either. TSO brought the Honda Center to it's feet with such a wonderful show. Can't wait to bring family and friends next year.

Tim Bush | 10:30 a.m. Dec. 10, 2008

this will be our seventh year in a row in the akron/cleveland ohio area.took our 9 year old daughter last year for the first time and she is as excited as we are to go 12/30/08.there are nine of us going this year with two first timers.always fun to see a first timers reaction to the show!TSO- a family holiday tradition for us.

Billie | 5:01 a.m. Dec. 14, 2008

Saw TSO for the 2nd time in Moline yesterday - the talent in this group is outstanding! Can't wait to see them again.

Steve | 12:59 p.m. Dec. 15, 2008

I stumbled across a TSO performance on PBS a couple years ago (Ghost of Christmas Eve) while "channel surfing". This past weekend was the first time to see them in person (Dec 13 2008, Moline, IL). Words cannot express; TSO will be a yearly event for me. Would recommend this to any and all, regardless of your taste in music you will want to add a night with TSO on your list of things to do during the holidays.

Allison | 12:13 p.m. Dec. 20, 2008

An incredible concert event, this turned my 14 year old son to music other than the 'new' stuff, and he has been playing songs for weeks now after the Winnipeg concert. We were impressed with every aspect of the show, adn we can hardly wait until next year when hopefully they come back, or maybe we'll have to travel to see them! Awesome job, and we wish them every sucess!

Michael | 1:58 p.m. Dec. 27, 2008

went to see T.S.O. for the first time last night in little rock ar. it was amazing. i've been to several shows i thought were good but they didnt even come close to tso's show.i believe i have found a new xmas tradition for our family every year. even tho i just saw them last night , i cant wait for next years show. if you have never been to a concert before, you owe it to yourself to go to this one. you will be awestruck.

cindy | 2:25 p.m. Jan. 7, 2009

Saw TSO for the first time - WOW!!!It was awesome, magical and totally exposive. Before we left the show in Dallas we were already talking about making the next show next year. You can't miss this spectacular event of musical wonder... Those guitars came alive and rockin. Can't even express this feeling you get seeling this spectacular I will never miss another one now. Better than Santa.

This was my 3rd year in a row going to TSO and it was even more awesome than before. TSO has made Christmas and every day music come to life. My wife and I look forward to seeing them every year. They still meet their fans and are grateful to them. TSO is a show that you do not want to miss.I tell everyone about the concert and they want to see it too.Iam at awe at what they accomplise every year and keep prices within reason so who ever can enjoy an amazing concert of the most talented musicians alive. Don't miss this concert it will blow your mind.
